How sweet is this vintage gold opening mushroom/toadstool charm with a little house on top!? We can't help but think of children's fairytales whenever we see it. Not only is the outside wonderfully deailed, complete with a little openwork window and miniature chimney, but the top of the mushroom also opens to reveal a tiny pixie hiding inside!

 

It seems no detail has been overlooked, when you turn the charm upside down, the bottom of the mushroom cap even has tiny lines like a real mushroom would.

 

The charm is made of 9ct gold with British hallmarks for 9ct gold. Some of the hallmarks are now quite worn and hard to make out clearly but we believe it had a Birmingham hallmark and a date letter that likely dated it to circa 1960s. These hallmarks are partially visible. The 9ct gold mark dates it to pre 1975.

 

When closed, the charm measures approx 13.4mm tall by approx 12.1mm wide by approx 16.6mm deep (not including the jump ring) and weighs approx 3.5g.

 

Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition but does show light signs of age and wear including some surface wear to the gold. The hinge mechanism still works well and the charm clicks closed to stay closed when worn. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.

 

*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
